Excellent sales attendant

We were at Sterlings mid afternoon on 12th August. The shop was quiet and we were there to purchase 2 new beds.
Our assistant Evija Rube was first class. Knowledgeable about the products, had excellent customer service, allowed us time to decide between options and gave us great suggestions. We can honestly say she has probably been one of the best sales assistants we’ve ever had and it made our purchase a pleasurable experience.

Staff were polite

Staff were polite, rather a long wait for item ordered. Did not appreciate being forced into large amount charged for delivery, after nearly not ordering they said we could just have delivery and not all packaging removed, we are capable of doing this and don’t require anyone to do it whilst being made to pay, then the hard sell of protection, this adds hundred of pounds to your order, all I wanted was the sofa not added extras, just hope it gets delivered on time and is in perfect condition

Husband and I was shopping for a leather suite. There is a great selection of leather suites at Sterling Furniture in Tillicoutry. Lauran one of the sales staff was exceptional. Nothing was too much bother and she guided us to the best suite suitable for our needs.

Delivery times

Service was great in the showroom as I bought 2 x 3 seater leather sofas and tempur bed in march (we paid it in full ) was told I would be contacted when they would be delivered , Never thought i would not get my paid order until end of July ( 4 months later ) so beware on when you will get your order , I really thought it would be sooner

Hi Anna

Thank you for your feedback and for choosing Sterling Home for your two leather sofas and Tempur bed.

We are delighted to hear that you received great service in our showroom. However, we are very sorry that the delivery timescale did not meet your expectations and that you had not expected to have to wait until July to receive the goods. We understand how disappointing and frustrating it can be to wait longer than anticipated.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Your feedback is valuable and will be shared with the relevant teams as we continue to improve our customer experience.

We hope you are now enjoying your new furniture and mattress, and we appreciate your patience throughout the process.
